Hallo!
I think, apart from aesthetic reasons, starting indexing at zero has practical advantages. For example modulo-counting is a common
yep - I "vote" fot counting from zero ... :)
to get zero-based indices to walk through the whole matrix. One-based containers like Iem/zexy matrix require an additional addition.
I guess the iem matrix objects count from 1 because matlab/octave also counts from 1 :)
